First Week of Work

I started work Monday at 8:15 am and ended at 3:30 pm, but that isn't my normal day. On Tuesday I started mt normal day at 5 am and ended at 3:30 pm. I now work from 5 am to 3:30 pm Monday through Thursday. Which is nice because I get a three day weekend. I like getting to work early because you get the rest of the day to do what you want. I was tired all week this week though because I wasn't used to getting up that early. Yesterday I came home and fell asleep with Trey at around 4. When he woke me up an hour later I took him downstairs where Brad was and I crashed on the couch in our living room. Then Brad kept trying to get me to go to bed with him around 8:30 and I kept talking to him about work in my sleep. I thought it was funny. Then I kept falling back to sleep on the couch so Brad picked me up and carried me to the bedroom and put me to bed. Then I had to pee and I asked him if he could carry me to the bathroom as we both laughed. He said now there are no more stops. Only from the couch to the bed. We are all out of bathroom trips. I didn't even wake up when Trey cried. Brad had to get up with him. I was so out of it last night. All because of waking up at 3:45 am, so that we can get to work a little early. We have to be at our stations AT 5. That means we have to get all of our ESD equipment on. Such as our feet straps, and ESD safe smock. ESD stands for electric static discharge. The reason we have to wear ESD safe equipment is because if we touched a circuit board without wearing this equipment, it would burn the board. When we get to our station we also have a cord to plug our self into so that we are grounded. That is also what our foot straps do with out feet. You know how when you walk across the floor and then you touch something and you get shocked? That's ESD. Which will not happen when I wear those straps. The smock that we wear do the same thing with our clothing. We all wear the same color, blue. I wish that there where pink smocks for girls if they would rather wear pink.... I know I would say that but it is true. We also get ESD coffee cups and water bottles.The water bottles are blue too. when she handed Brad a water bottle I asked her if girls got pink and she said no I wish there were more of a verity of colors. I do too. Everyone is blue there. I would like orange and pink too. I love those two colors.

My first day there was kinda crazy. I swear EVERYONE was starring at me!!! Then every guy that was around my age introduced there self. The next day this guy, I don't remember his name. came up to me and said there are a couple of guys that asked me to come over here and ask you what your name is, how old you are, and how long you have been here. I said my name is Summer, I and 19, I have a fiance and a 1 year old son. You can tell them that. He said ok I will. He is the one that makes the parts for our line. He came back and said they are a little disappointed but that's alright. There was also a guy that didn't work Monday that works second shift that started talking to me when I was getting ready to leave. Brad works in the same building as me and I told him what happened. He was like who wants to know? I said I don't know and I don't care. I told them I was with you anyways. I told him not to make a scene. The next day the guy that asked me the questions asked me if the guy I was walking with was my fiance. I said yes and he just walked away. Then yesterday there was a girl that was temporarily working on my line asked me if I was naturally a dirty blond. I laughed a little bit and said no. I am a Bernette. She said that I looked like a dirty blond. That kinda made me feel good because I highlight my hair and It looks natural. That makes me feel real good actually. That also means that the person that did my hair did a good job as well. I told her how I wanted it foiled, which way I wanted them foiled, and where I wanted them foiled, but she was the one that did it. I probably am not the best person when it comes to doing my hair because I want it a certain way. I am somewhat picky. The reason I say somewhat is because she made the color bleed but didn't make her fix it.

Also Trey is now hiding to go to the bathroom. He doesn't want anyone to see him push. He is so funny.

The part where you are talking about those guys at work makes me think of the stories you told me of that guy Joe at W/M. And Brad has nothing to worry about because you are so devoted to him.

Trey is funny!
